WESCOTT'S
Our 5it2& Year
3 Generations
of Women Agree
on One Subject
That's news! It's very unusual to
have three . generations of women
agree on any one subject,' whether it
is the raising of children, tbe feeding
of chickens or a style of hair-dress.
But we have found three generations
who do agree on how to have suc
cessful baking results.
"It's Just good sense," declares the
granddaughter, now a young bride
herself. "Grandmother came to Ne
braska in 1869, and started using
VICTOR FLOUR. She earned a . fine
reputation for successful baking, so
when Mother grew up she used it al
so. There was once during nara times
when mother thought she could econ
omize, and used a cheap flour. But
cne sack was enough. Her results
were so poor that it was no economy.
The loss she suffered in time, effort,
other Ingredients, fuel and reputation
made her realize that VICTOR
FLOUR is always cheapest. Of
course, i always use viutuk, oe
cause it seems impossible to have a
failure with it, and we certainly can't
afford failures in these times."
Victor Flour is milled by The
Crete Mills, Crete, Nebraska, one of
Nebraska's oldest and most reliable
Flour manufacturers. You can buy
it at all Better Grocers in Platts
mouth.
ren of Lincoln, were enjoying a visit
at the state park at Nebraska City,
where they picnicked last Sunday.
Afterwards they came home via Ne
hawka and visited for a time at the
A. F. Sturm home, Mrs. Minthorne
and Mrs. John O. Yeiser having been
school mates a number of years ago,
while Doctor Minthorne and Victor
Sturm were in the same company at
the state university.
When the time came for the annual
vacation of Robert H. Chapman, he
and the family departed last Satur
day for the west and will spend some
time in the mountains, with ' Idaho
Falls, Idaho, as their principal objec
tive. There they will visit with
number of friends and relatives-and
enjoy the fresh and invigorating air
and a good time as well. While they
are away, Clyde Switzer is looking
after .the carrying of the mail on Mr
Chapman's route. . .
Dr. Miller who with the wife are
visiting at the home, of Mr, and Mrs
Henry Wessell returned a few days
ago from a visit at the Century of
Progress exposition at Chicago and
also were visiting at Omaha with
friends and relatives for a few days
This week they will with Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Wessels depart for Des
Moines, Iowa, where they will visit
for several, days at the home of Mr
and Mrs. Arno Wessell and family
and will expect to remain here for
some two weeks before they leave for
their home at San Diego, Calif.
Home from Hospital.
George Pollard who has been at
the hospital at Lincoln for some time
was able to return home last week
and was down town to see the doctor
on Tuesday morning. He is getting
aldng nicely now following his ma
jor operation.

ALARM CAUSES STIR
From Monda''s Daily -
This morning at 6 o'clock the
burglar alarm at the Farmers State
bank aroused the residents of the
downtown section of the city as ti
started ringing. The alarm caused
the police to rush to the scene but as
there was apparently no one in the
bank or near it the officers decided
that, the alarm had gone off accident-
ly. The bank officers were notified
and hastened to the bank to investi
gate the matter. It was found that
a radio aerial located on another
building had torn loose and fallen on
the box housing - the bells of the
alarm system and as the system is
controlled by sound waves, had start
ed the alarm working. As soon as
the wire was removed the alarm
ceased ringing. ,
